My favorite musical ever! Dark, funny and bizarre, it never lags and always surprises. Casting must have been done by a genius as every character is perfect. Steven Martin has never been more deranged as the sadistic dentist. I expect only dentists will not love his performance. Bill Murray's cameo as a masochistic patient is a gem of comic timing. Audrey and Seymour are so sweet that you can't help wanting them to achieve their dreams. The music is a fantastic homage to doowap and Motown of the early 60's. I got the soundtrack years ago and still listen to it today on my iPod. The Blu-ray is gorgeous and the sound is perfect except for sporadic static during the alternate ending sequence. Which is ok because I'll never watch that ending again. I don't know what Frank Oz was thinking, but that ending makes me feel that he actually felt nothing but contempt for the the characters of Audrey and Seymour. It takes the movie from dark but hopeful to utter black despair. I've watched the movie dozens of times over the years and seeing that ending was like being mugged by a skidrow degenerate who breaths alcoholic fumes into your face and whines, "I just killed everyone in the movie you cared about. How do you like them apples?" Well I don't like them apples and the alternate ending will remain in the dark place from which it never should have been resurrected.

The bluray comes with 2 versions of the 1986 classic remake little shop of horrors. The original theatrical version plus the directors cut which is composed of a completely new bigger grander ending that was considered to dark for 1986 audiences. This 20 minute new directors cut ending is kinda war of the worlds-ish. Showing the plants winning & taking over the world, Actually pretty cool.It's special features includes an audio commentary, trailers, a new 10 min featurette about the directors cut & a vintage 25 minute featurette from 1986.

This DVD contains the alternate ending of the film where both Audrey and Seymour die and Audrey II wreaks havoc. One thing to note is that while I believe that the Blu-Ray contains both the alternate and theatrical endings, the DVD version of the Director's Cut contains only this alternate ending, and not the original theatrical "happy" ending! I actually prefer the theatrical "happy" ending myself, so I was a little disappointed that I couldn't choose between the two endings on the DVD, but otherwise, I was very satisfied with the DVD and the movie. If you want to be able to choose between the two endings, get the Blu-Ray version, and if you want to watch the theatrical ending on DVD, you'll have to get an older version of the DVD.

Much like Chicago, the plot has a twisted, murderous aspect that somehow blends seamlessly with the catchy songs. It's great that the movie comes in a book-like case, showing lots of behind-the-scenes pictures. On the disk, the original theatrical version of the film is available, as well as the Director's Cut, showing the original ending with a huge twist. My only concern is that the movie is only available on Blu-Ray. A much better buy if the DVD version was included as well.

This is the first movie where I got to really to ppreciate he awesome talent of Steve MartinIt also brought out my horrors of dentists as he plays a sadistic , demented dentist.For many years I did not watch it as I really don't care for Horror stories.Can you image my surprise when I found this musical roaringly funny

It was a movie that I saw a hundred times when I was young. Was curious to see if I liked it today (20 years later).I still find it interesting to watch. What surprised me is that it's really really dark as a movie. Can't believe I didn't noticed it when I was young.

I wore out my VHS copy of this movie, it is always so much fun too watch. It has everything; pathos, romance, humour, music. Even has a Greek Chorus. I enjoyed seeing the original ending and having a choice of the more popular ending too.

An absolute delight to watch - every character is enjoyable. The final scenes where Seymour deals with singing Audrey II and "offspring" is excellent. This ending is just fine even though it avoids the "tragedy" category. First rate entertainment.
